Master <strong>Tse</strong> to<br />

Return to the UK<br />

The USA <strong>Tse</strong> <strong>Qigong</strong> <strong>Centre</strong> office<br />

was established eight years ago in<br />

Seattle and moved to Hawaii in May<br />

2001. We have enjoyed meeting so many<br />

good students. Some of these students<br />

have been with us for<br />

several years, some even<br />

from the very first USA<br />

class. These loyal students<br />

include Seattle students<br />

Derek Fowler, Ed Ducay,<br />

Adah & Ben Masaoka,<br />

Gabe McCallum and<br />

Hawaii students Brandon<br />

Eugenio, Chris Booth,<br />

Lance Linke , Clarence<br />

Young, the Yuk Fat Temple<br />

students, George Arakaki,<br />

Tai Crouch, Graeme<br />

Glade, Vladimir Ciglar,<br />

Karen and Traci Shimuzu.<br />

Of course, there<br />

are many more, some who<br />

have stayed for a while<br />

and then gone on to other<br />

things but who made the<br />

class more enjoyable by<br />

their presence, such as<br />

Greg Dunn, Kahi Wight,<br />

Bobby Ebanez and Adrian<br />

and Laurie Bagayas.<br />

All of these people<br />

helped to create a<br />

good family feeling.<br />

However, it is now<br />

time for me to go<br />

back to my other<br />

family in the UK and<br />

look after things<br />

there. The UK is<br />

where I made my<br />

home when I moved<br />

from Hong Kong.<br />

Wherever I teach around<br />

the world, all my students, grandstudents<br />

and grand-grand students are<br />

my family but the UK is where I first<br />

began the <strong>Tse</strong> <strong>Qigong</strong> <strong>Centre</strong> and started<br />

my <strong>Qigong</strong> and martial art family.<br />

The Chinese say, “There is no<br />

endless party.” So, now it is time to go<br />

back to the UK even though I will not<br />

give up in Hawaii. The class in Hawaii<br />

will be taken over by Brandon Eugenio<br />

“All these people<br />

helped to create a<br />

good family feeling.”<br />

who is a qualified <strong>Tse</strong> <strong>Qigong</strong> <strong>Centre</strong><br />

instructor with very good skill. It is time<br />

for letting the students grow and develop<br />

themselves. However, I will visit Hawaii<br />

regularly and also Seattle and New York.<br />

When I go back to the UK, I will<br />

take over and teach those London classes<br />

which were my classes before moving to<br />

America. There are many students who<br />

have been studying in the UK for over<br />

five, ten and some over<br />

fifteen years. It is now<br />

time to help them<br />

develop their skill to the<br />

next level and to pass on<br />

those skills such Dayan<br />

Palm, Cotton Fist, Three<br />

Treasures Gong, Cotton<br />

Spear from the Dayan<br />

system and skills such as<br />

White Crane Sword,<br />

Double Dao, Damo Staff<br />

Two, Thirteen Grab Stick<br />

from Chun Yuen Quan.<br />

There is also my Hard<br />

<strong>Qigong</strong> skill the levels 4,<br />

5, 6 and 7 which I have<br />

not yet taught.<br />

I do not want these<br />

skills lost as our skill<br />

ancestors worked very<br />

hard to keep passing<br />

them down through<br />

many generations and<br />

many hundreds of years.<br />

These students are the<br />

next generation skill<br />

carriers. The Chinese say, “A<br />

long journey can test the<br />

horse, long time can test a<br />

person’s heart.” All these<br />

skills need to be passed<br />

down. I do not want to see<br />

the skill pass down to the<br />

wrong people. It is my<br />

responsibility to help these<br />

loyal students be masters so<br />

that the skill is not diluted or<br />

changed and keeps passing<br />

down for future generations. Those<br />

students who are loyal and want to keep<br />

on developing themselves will always be<br />

my students no matter where I live as I<br />

will always help them.<br />
